Visual Thinking Training

In the workplace and the classroom, Graphic Recording can be a powerful collaboration, teaching, and capture tool. You can learn it, too.

People love to categorize things. It helps us feel safe. "Danger / Not Danger." "Athletic / Not Athletic." "Good Reader / Not Good Reader." "Artistic / Not Artistic." Oddly enough, we especially love to do this with children. I often hear from people, "I'd love to do what you do, but I can't draw! I'm the worst artist."

Most likely, when someone says this, they were either explicitly or implicitly told this by an adult when they were little, but it's not true. Each one of us is born with the desire to communicate our visions to others and the instinct to explore our experiences and ideas through drawing. We can let go of the "I can't draw" story. It really doesn’t serve us. Remembering our love for drawing does.

I teach Graphic Recording and visual thinking skills to all different types of groups, from kids to teachers to professional teams.

The whiteboard contains various notes and diagrams, including the large word 'WHY' at the top, with phrases like 'THINK ACT COMMAND,' 'NOT WHAT BUT HOW,' and '3 PARTS BRAIN.' There are arrows and circles connecting ideas such as 'Purpose! Cause! Believe!' and questions about a computer company's qualifications and funding. A discarded coffee cup is on a chair nearby.

“I just wanted to let you know that the [Graphic Recording] training you provided has been invaluable to me. I won the 1st Place Social Media Award at the 12th Annual Women’s Leadership Conference at the University of Minnesota last Friday due to my scribing skills and especially, your training! I cannot express how thankful I am for all that you taught us!”

Learning Graphic Recording skills and techniques teaches people to listen deeply, think visually, and synthesize complex ideas in real time. It’s a powerful skill for enhancing communication, collaboration, and creativity—transforming conversations, meetings, and lectures into engaging visual stories that make ideas stick and inspire action.
